    Thank You For Serving!

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022
     | 5,739 views

    Why is serving very important and what should be our motivation? The answers lie in that very powerful scene in which Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. Jesus mandated us to live by (symbolically) washing one another’s feet, (literally) serving one another.

    A Sermon for Trinity Sunday 2007 One of the things I was most looking forward to in moving to Surrey Hills was that coming to a Church named Holy Trinity.

    Dogs and hogs. Is Jesus showing some signs of ADHD? A difficult passage like this needs the context to help us understand it.

    Our passage today is a tough one. Probably one of the toughest ones in the Sermon. Jesus has just finished a little ditty about not judging people especially judging them religiously that includes are rather harsh judgment about hypocrites. Then he starts spouting off about hogs and dogs. What does ...read more

    Many people fail to understand God's greater purposes for physical suffering.

    Many people fail to understand God's greater purposes for physical suffering.

    Understanding the sovereignty of God, and how that should affect the way I live.

    August 12, 2001 The Sovereignty of God is more than a doctrine. If I have learned anything about how much control God exerts on everything in life it is these two: a. There are no accidents.

    Because Jesus understands our suffering, we do not suffer alone.

    INTRODUCTION If I were writing the Bible, I probably would have left this passage out.
